OK, the math part should not be too bad. You are not going to need calculus or trig or stuff like that unless you get into some of the more specialized areas like component design, studio acoustics and so forth. If you are more into recording, editing, mastering and that sort of thing, the math involved is mostly addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (although you will have to learn to add and subtract in odd units like minutes hours and seconds, and video frames, and how to convert back and forth.)

The science part could still be a problem. You need to be able to work with equipment, diagnose problems, understand the basics of how things work, know your way around a computer and stuff like that. You are not going to have to memorize a lot of formulas. What is it about science that you do not like? Have you had physics yet? Did you like the lab part of that course better than the lectures? Did you like physics lab better than biology or chemistry lab?
